Hardscape guide
Movement does not always mean immediate collapse, but changes in alignment, soil and drainage should be documented and reviewed.
Leaning, bulging, rotating blocks, widening joints and shifted caps can indicate movement.
Erosion, washed material, persistent wet areas and water flowing through unintended locations may indicate drainage problems.
New loads, fences, trees, driveways, excavation and changes to grade can affect the wall.
Questions
Straight answers help clients decide what to do next.
No. Moving a wall without understanding loads, drainage and structure can be unsafe and ineffective.
Sometimes, but access and wall condition determine whether that is practical.
Restrict access and seek prompt review when movement is rapid, material is falling, the wall supports occupied access or collapse appears possible.
